Cyclamen - SOLD

I received this cyclamen from my mother-in-law on the weekend, and since I'd done flowers the past couple of days I decided to keep going with the theme. I looked up cyclamens online and found that historically they were used for many purposes. My favourite entries are:
- "Taken with wine, it makes one drunk" (can't you say that about anything? LOL)
- "The juice of the root can be absorbed through the nose to purge the head" (not a good visual)
- "Somebody says that mashed into a paste it can be used as a love potion" (offhand I can think of 50 things that would top that ; )
6" x 6" / oil on panel / SOLD
